The moist cotton thread is actually a fungal growth seen on the food kept outside for a couple of days.  

Explanation:

  • When food like bhakhri or bread, that has high carbohydrate and sugar content is kept within a container with a fitted lid and kept outside on room temperature, the ambiance of the air inside that container becomes humid and hot and as a result, the spores present in the air inside the container can start growing on the food surface.
  • These spores belong to fungus and they propagate in the hot and humid surfaces where glucose and carbohydrates are abundant.
